About Tina

Tina Ashley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people navigate stressful seasons and everyday parenting challenges. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth support for concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and relationship strain. Tina communicates plainly and creates space for clear problem-solving rather than long labels or jargon.

Her sessions tend to be straightforward. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift daily patterns.

Background and approach

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and shape treatment around each person’s goals. With 16 years of experience, Tina has worked with people facing anger, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She combines tools from different approaches depending on the situation.

That means clients often get a mix of skills training, emotional processing, and short-term problem-solving. Tina practices in Texas and conducts work in English. Her background emphasizes clear steps you can try between sessions, and she explains techniques in simple language.

Many people leave sessions with one or two practical actions to try at home. To begin, Tina asks about the immediate problem and what the client wants to change. From there she and the client choose the most useful approach and set small, measurable goals to track progress.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Tina frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening carefully and shaping the work around what matters most to the client, which can help people feel heard and more able to try new strategies.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Tina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life before suggesting techniques. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan if something does not feel like the right fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video and phone let clients have real-time conversations, while live chat and text allow shorter check-ins and written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and to continue work when in-person visits are not practical.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
